Who carried fail in chafe, till all was blue
In peace, whole gresteft elor7 was,
A ftaggering top-tail breeze:
In war to bring his broadfde round

And who " hen fguals of diitrefs hove

But haul'd, or tuck d, or wore,
To give relief though to q foo
Who tteeT'd his little bark, full 80 annua

And moor'd her fsfe in port at laft-
Where,
Ter timbers being crazy
And having fprung e leak in the gale
She went down with Q clear houie--

New Hints on House Cleaning.


From several years of observa-
zion Of the different methods en-
played by women IN their annual
house cleaning, we are convinced
.hst most Of them make themselves
q great deal OF unnecessary hard
work when putting their houses in
order. The usual way is to go at
DIT as If the fate Of the nation de
pended on having it done at Ger
ra.u lime. Taking it leisgrely," is
something they do not seem to
think Of. "Moying" is always
dreaded by the men folks, and
house cleaning, as general thing,
is about as bad. We know one
woman who has completely revolu-
ioaized the old system. She be
gins with the closets. She empties
one at a time, cleans it and its con
tents, returns them to it and goes
oa to the next, never hurrying the
work, and consequently never max
ing herself sick by overriding as so
uang women do every spring.
When-the closets are in "apple- pie
ardar," she begins with the rooms,
.aaiug those up stairs first, one al
lime, and working her way down
I'd Vie cellar. There is no hustle,
no confusion, no picked up" meals,
and. consequently, no outbreaks OF
wrath On the part of the men folks,
who would not know that house
cleaning was going on if they were
not asked to help move heavy fur
ntuye eft of one room into another
now and then. and carry out the
poIs, or bring them in after they
aal been beaten and aired. When
tHe house is cleaned in this leisure
fashion. it is easy to get the mer
Ia help pat up shades and curtains
because they do not get "out Q.
Sorts" from the general topsy-turvy
condition OF things. When TIL,
work IS completed the woman o
ths house is not "all used up" Sh,
may be tired-without doubt she i.
but she soon "rests up' and i:
"ad right again." while in many

A Lodge History.

Perhaps some OF the brothers and sisters
in the various Good Templar Lodges "t
Maine may like to hear how we OF the
Golden Gate Lodge art pro>pcring. on
the 18th of August, l.,5, our fodge was
organizcd by NJ j. Dow, with twenty
seven charter members To many-We
NAV even say most Of Us, it was an entirely
ncw thing, but we got on very we'll. We
have had >eventy-SiN members. hut from
that number We have lost nine. some OF
them on account of illness or absence
We have struggled through difficulties.
it is true. and we SUPPOSE most Lodges
have something to contend with. especially
in Il numbering community like ours where
there are % many men coming III "l an
classc, and all nations. During the sum
mer the interest was rather poor, anu we
were. at times, almost discouraged, but,
perhaps fortunately for us, there came un-
mi>takablc evidences of the evils of intern
pcrance. and our Lodge seemed to gam III
favor and influence. while our members
felt renewed courage and greater zeal. l
think that we are gaining steadily, but our
greatest trouble now i to succeed III max
